Sterling "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Very nice. Well preserved, too. Pretty heady stuff for a ship's surgeon though. Ship's surgeons were the poorest of the surgeons. Most of them couldn't get lucrative land-based positions, so they went to sea to get experience. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callenish gunner Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Nicely crafted! I'd have to agree with Dread Surgeon; as they were seldom used by even land based surgeons who didn't understand the significance of any microbes to their patients health. They were more often used by those doing research into the world before unseen of tissues and cell structure and the structure of insects and such.
